The energy sector in India is rapidly evolving into a digitally empowered ecosystem marked by a series of strong developments in both infrastructure and policy. A major milestone was achieved in June 2025, when India met its target of 50 per cent non-fossil fuel-based installed generation capacity under its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) to the Paris Agreement, five years ahead of schedule. Renewable energy (including large hydropower) reached an impressive figure of 234 GW installed capacity (as on June 30, 2025) and has become a key force that promotes clean energy transition in the country.

Economic growth and electrification

Economic growth and electrification have spurred demand, with peak power expected to reach 277 GW in 2025. On June 9, 2025, India reached a daily peak of 241 GW, with zero shortage, which demonstrates the robustness of its supply infrastructure and operational readiness.
